What I am seeing from news articles and hearing from people and from internet news is that America seems to be adding a checkpoint here and there and creating new oppressive organizations such as TSA and Homeland Security, CIVPOL, controllers of Codex Alimentarius, new military forces comprised of the top 10% of the Navy Seals etc. Only, they seem to be spreading it out evenly and quietly so as not to be noticed. A little here, a little there.....almost as if conditioning us to slowly notice and accept this as a way of life. Were they to just drop a military blockade at every entrance or exit, it would wreak and scream of Police State. They don't want this as it would shock everyone to riots and rebellion, but if the condition you slowly by one popping up here and there and then another and then another and letting the news slowly leak this info out (spoken of positively as per our protection, of course)....they know people will generally just accept it and not call it a police state. Don't Wake Up! (maybe reverse psychology will work).

You can make your point, as valid as it might be, without slurring the ATS community.
Just because this particular implementation serves you it doesn't in any way negate the fact that this is part of a much broader implementation of control over the American people. You're compartmentalizing. It's like saying there's nothing wrong with smoking because it relaxes the smoker. One singular semblance of positivity doesn't negate the broader ramifications.

So where does it stop for you? There's scumbags everywhere, if the guy on the bus was beheaded in a restaurant should we put a TSA agent at the door of every restaurant to search you? Should we have checkpoints on every street corner, get scanned to take a cab, get on a subway, should I have to get scanned and strip searched to go watch some baseball? Don't get me wrong that I'm not for transportation safety, I am. This is just getting out of hand and you may notice that the next time you walk in a Walmart, mall and Napolitino's telling you "If you see something,say something". I can't wait, very little English spoken in our Walmart, I'm reporting every "possible" illegal in the store. I wish I could say what the TSA can go do, but I'd end up banned and in the shed.
Add: I gotta ask you all, who is creating the paranoia here? I just wanted to buy a shirt and some socks for Christ sakes.

I'm not sure what is more creepy about this clip, the actual gestapo-like invasion of people being violated by gov goons, or the UNBELIEVABLE SHILLING by this guy doing the 'newscast'!
Is it just me, or is the 'news' and these corpomedia shills and puppets becoming more and more transparent with these PROPAGANDA programs?!?
"They're keeping us all safe from the terrorists! Obey and conform!"
UNREAL...
